How it used to be when we were so young
Look how much has changed from way back when
We've since traded places now it seems,
Look what is now, not what was then.
I had the riches; you were the rags,
We were the bitches; you had the bags.
We were so alike yet with such difference,
What things are now just doesn't make sense.
I should be with him; he should love me,
You'd connive for his heart, though hopeless it'd be.
I see now how wrong I was before,
But it doesn't change anything now.
The switch has been made; there's no going back
I would if I could, this I vow.
You've risen up from the despair that I've caused you,
While I sink ever lower in flames,
I used to play while you slaved away,
Now I work while you're playing games.
I wish I could say I'm not bitter,
That we both deserve what we've got,
You've bested me; I know that I've lost,
But happiness and dignity can never be bought.
